First Delivery of 2014 Cadillac Escalade Arrives at Illinois Dealership

Bill Jacobs Cadillac receives new Cadillac Escalade

JOLIET, Ill., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Since 1998, the Cadillac Escalade has been defining the luxury SUV segment and building its reputation as one of the most iconic American luxury vehicles ever made. Now, 15 years later, Cadillac has introduced the 2014 Cadillac Escalade to customers near Chicago, IL and throughout the country. With the upcoming release of the highly-anticipated 2014 Cadillac CTS, the new Escalade has largely flown under the radar before reaching the Bill Jacobs Cadillac lot.

Like the 2013 version of the luxury SUV, the 2014 Cadillac Escalade features a 403-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine that launches the full-size SUV from 0-60 MPH in 6.8 seconds. That power is paired with Magnetic Ride Control technology, which constantly reads and reacts to the road to provide a smooth ride, to deliver elite Cadillac performance.

While those who have driven the Escalade through the years are familiar with its performance, most know the Escalade for its best-in-class amenities. Among those luxury features is the adaptive remote start, which allows drivers to start and control the interior temperature of the new Escalade from up to 150 ft. away.

But as a seven-passenger SUV, it's important some luxuries suit the entire family. The available rear seat entertainment system certainly is the answer to back seat boredom, as the in-dash DVD player displays the families' favorite movies or TV shows on an eight-inch overhead screen as well as two seven-inch displays positioned behind the headrests of the front seats.

As the premier American SUV, the Cadillac Escalade is poised to continue building its reputation for excellence in the 2014 model year.
